Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Executive summary:

The flash point of the test item was assessed in-house according to DIN 51758 which is similar to ISO 2719 in closed cup method. The flash point of test item is determined to be 125°C.

Description of key information

The flash point of the test item was assessed in-house according to DIN 51758 which is similar to ISO 2719 in closed cup method. The flash point of test item is determined to be 125°C. This is supported by a second source where the flash point of the test item is mentioned in the substance datasheet of GESTIS, a data base of the 'Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung'. The flash point was measured in closed cup. Flash point of test item is determined to be 123 °C.


Both mentioned flash points are quite similar and in any case far above the relevant temperature which is the threshold for classification.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
125 °C
